Rights on Trial: How Workplace Discrimination Law Perpetuates Inequalityoffers a comprehensive analysis of employment civil rights litigation in the U.S. and gives voice to real plaintiffs in their pursuit of justice and defense of their civil rights. By examining over 1,700 workplace discrimination filings, and interviews with real plaintiffs, defendants, and their attorneys, Berrey, Nelson, and Nielsen illustrate how employment civil rights litigation entrenches patterns of discrimination in and out of the workplace.
